Bootcamp 2023 – Week 1 – June 26-30

Week one started out with a chance to get to know the 14 high school students, from Riverside County Schools, that decided to give up 4 weeks of their summer vacation to attend our masonry bootcamp.  The first week was an introduction to CMU.  Instructor Justus used lecture, hands-on demonstrations and projects to train the students on stacking CMU with a focus on achieving plumb and level while maintaining height, and lessons on tooling.  Snacks and plenty of water daily have kept them hydrated and energized, ending with a pizza party lunch for the last day of the week.  These photos show them at work.  They break now for the holiday and return for week two on Wednesday 7/5.
